00:00Our government was formed in Delhi and 70% of the contribution is from the autowallas.
00:08Today, the Delhi autowallas consider me as their brother.
00:11I think, in the history of India, there will be only one Chief Minister
00:14whom an autowalla can directly text and say,
00:17I am facing this problem.
00:31An autowalla earns and eats every day.
00:36You came here after taking out your time.
00:39Obviously, everyone must have lost one or two vehicles.
00:44I thank you for giving us so much respect and attention
00:49that you left your business and came here for 3-4 hours.
00:537-8 years ago, when we started our political career,
00:58we got in touch with the Delhi autowallas.
01:03Today, I am going to say a very big thing,
01:09and this is not an exaggeration.
01:12Our government was formed in Delhi and 70% of the contribution is from the autowallas.
01:21I am not lying. I am not saying this to make you happy.
01:28I will tell you how it is.
01:3070% of the contribution is from the autowallas.
01:33I don't know about here, but in Delhi, at that time,
01:38people used to look at the autowallas with a lot of hatred.
01:42They used to say, automafia, autowalla doesn't run on a meter,
01:46autowalla overcharges a lot,
01:49autowalla is a mafia, autowalla is this, autowalla is that.
01:54Such things were said to the autowallas.
01:57When I started talking to the autowallas,
02:00some people said, look, if you support them,
02:03then all the people will be against you.
02:06The people don't want them.
02:08They loot the people.
02:10So don't talk to them.
02:13When I talked and found out about the whole system,
02:19an autowalla gives money to the police from morning to evening,
02:26to the transport department of the government department,
02:29to the RTO department,
02:31I don't know how many people have to pay.
02:34And when it comes to increasing the rent,
02:36no government increases their rent.
02:38The laws are made so difficult,
02:40so difficult that no autowalla can work honestly even if he wants to.
02:45Then where will he get the money from?
02:48Does he take 2-4 rupees extra from the driver?
02:52So one day I called a meeting of all the autowallas in Ramlila Maidan.
02:56I said, I am standing with you.
02:59And today I want to appeal to the people of Delhi
03:02that if these autowallas were a mafia,
03:05then today they would have big palaces.
03:09Whatever you say they loot,
03:12they loot as much as they can,
03:14but they are still in the limelight.
03:19So the mafia is not the autowalla.
03:22The mafia are the politicians.
03:24The mafia are the parties.
03:26They have deliberately made a system
03:29that the autowalla cannot live a peaceful life with their honesty.
03:35So I told the people of Delhi,
03:38I said, let us win once.
03:40I will make such a system
03:42that all the people of Delhi will start loving the autowallas.
03:46Today if you go to Delhi,
03:49no autowalla in Delhi
03:51will say anything bad about the autowallas.
03:54The autowalla loves the people of Delhi,
03:57respects them,
03:58and respects the people of Delhi, the autowallas.
04:01All of them work with honesty,
04:03all of them work well,
04:04all of them earn with honesty.
04:05Why?
04:06We have changed the entire system of autowallas.
04:09We have changed the entire system of autowallas.
04:12We have changed the entire system of autowallas.
04:15We have changed the entire system of autowallas.
04:18Today the autowallas of Delhi consider me their brother.
04:21They consider me their younger brother.
04:24And many autowallas have my direct phone number.
04:27I think in the history of India,
04:29there has been only one Chief Minister
04:31whom an autowalla can directly text and say,
04:33I am having this problem.
04:36We had the first wave,
04:38in which we deposited Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 1,50,000
04:41to the Delhi autowallas.
04:45This year in April we had the second wave,
04:48again Rs. 1,50,000 to Rs. 1,80,000
04:51to the Delhi autowallas.
04:53We deposited Rs. 10,000 to their accounts.
04:56There is no government in the entire country,
04:58there is no government of any party,
05:00which has taken care of its autowallas and taxis.
05:03There is only one government.
05:06It is my responsibility to solve your problems
05:09and it is your responsibility to make a government.
05:12You make a government in Uttarakhand
05:15and we will solve all the problems one by one.
05:18Look at the AAP once,
05:20then I challenge you,
05:22you will stop giving votes to other parties.
